Chief Roberts

Bush nominates John Roberts for chief justice. This means only two confirmation hearings instead of three. I don't see any reason why we can't have three confirmation battles at the same time. Everyone is already prepared for full-scale judicial war. Congress should be able to handle multiple confirmations, a hurricane, making the tax cuts permanent, repealing the estate tax, reforming social security, and fundamental tax reform all at the same time. We pay them a full-time salary and provide a large staff budget.
